. This invention relatesto improvements binding posts for cal'endarpads and pads of'a like or simllar nature.

An object of this invention is. to provide simple binding post for holding calendar pages, or other leaves 'or pieces of'jpape'r,

against a base that wilhnot wobble or sag when the. leaves are torn from, the b nding.

post.

" Another objof this inventionis to pro vide'a binding post for the purposes stated 7 that is inexpensive to manufactureij'and' re: f quires a minimum of parts, which parts may be assembledina minimum of time and with little effort, i

These and other-objects are attained by the means described herein and disclosed'in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective View of a'calendar' pad having embodied therein a binding post of this invention. j

Fig. 2 1s a sectional view taken on line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an elevational View of the in dividual parts of the improved binding post The base 11 has formed therein near its. upper edge a perforation 12 for hangingor suspending the base from a suitable support.v

of this invention.

The improved binding post 10 is mounted on and extends at right angles to a suitable base 11.

The base 11 is provided intermediate its edges with perforations13'through'which the binding post 10 extends.

The binding post 10 comprises a having a radial flange 15 formed at one end and a longitudinal bore '16 extending through the sleeve. The bore 16 in the sleeve and the bore, 13 in the base 'are in alignmentand have extending through them a fastening means,;commonly called a paper fastener 17. The paper fastener 17 comprises an enlarged head portion 18 from which a pair of arms 19 and 20 extend. The arms 19 and 20 pass through the bore 16in the sleeve and the perforation 13 in the pad. The outer ends 21 of the arms 19 and 20 extend through andJbeyond a washer 22. It should be noted that the head. 18=0f the paper fastener 17 is larger than the outside diameter of the sleeve 14. It should also benoted that the washer 22 is larger than the perforation 13 formed in the base 11.

' The operationof my device is as follows. A plurality'of calendar pages 23, or, other leaves pieces of ivith perforations; 24 are mounted about, the

. sleeve" 14. l The radial flange 15 of theisleeve 14. is then. placed upon the base 1'1ijso that the bore 16 of thesleevel l' is in axial alignment Withtlre perforation l3finth'e base 11. The jpapeivfastener" 17 then inserted through the bore and perforations until the" headil8 of the fastener 17 abuts the outer'ejdgc-fof the sleeve l i. lf'l h'e. washer 223s now placed on the'arms 19 and 20 01.

The ends 2l 'ofwthe arms arebent'inbppo: f

' s'ite directions and'at angles tofsaid', arms thereby securing the base '11" between the washe1fl22 and the peripheral, flange l5.

It shouldbe noted that" the'binding post i 10 is securedto the base 11 and extends permanently at right angles to said base. Fur

ther thesheetscomprising the calendar pad may be readily removed from the post with out leaving any stubs on ithe'post' and without causing the post to sag or slump;

2. The-combination with a base havinga g ends bent upon the base for securing the sleeve 14 perforation therein, of a sleeve having a bore through the perforation inthe base, the ends ofthe arms being bent ,uponfthe'base for securing-thebase between the said bent ends of the arms and the-end of the sleeve.

3. The combination/of a pad of individually tearableand detachable perforated sheets having.aligned 'perforations, a base as 1 inga pair of bendable arms, and ahead or the of sheets, a' sleeve having a I radial flange 'at'jone end, the flange being disposedfrbetweenthe pad and the "base and abutting the base, the sleeve-extending through the perforations the-ics heets, anda fastening device comprising a head portion and a bendable arm?portiontheheeid portion extending beyond the sleeve and ,preeluding'movenient ofithe 'sheets 'beyond the sleeve, and the bendable arm portion eX-j tending through thesleeve and the base and bent'radially of thesleeveat the back of *the base for clamping the sleeve on the bzisef f {4Q The combination of a pad ot individually detiehable perforated "sheets 'having their perforations fin alignmenfif a b'a'se for the'pad of sheets, a" sleevefhavinga radial flange at on'eend, thefian'ge being of the sleeve, other the iiig device bei'ngl bent ""i adi a l ly offthel sleeve zind'jdying zrlo'ngthe re2i1"" fece* "of" the base 'for'clanipingthe sleeve, and the'basefto-;
